Summary
Canada’s men’s soccer team is making history by reaching the World Cup knockout stage for the first time ever, facing South Africa in a must-win match. Star player Alphonso Davies, sidelined by injury during the group stage, is finally healthy and eager to play — even lobbying the coach to start in the last group game. Coach Jesse Marsch admitted using Davies as a decoy to mislead opponents, and now with the full squad back, he’s ready to compete at the highest level. Though Davies won’t start, he’s poised to make a major impact off the bench as Canada aims to advance to the Round of 16 and face Morocco or Netherlands in Los Angeles.
